I have slept on it and I think I will still return my Kindle.

It's left a bad taste in my mouth really, I love the idea of ebook readers so I think I will get a SONY as thats actually supported in the UK. My credit card is about to take the hit of purchasing all the terry pratchett books in one go!

Thanks folks - think I will send some feedback to Amazon along with my kindle. I guess faeces packed in with the Kindle might invalidate their returns policy so I guess just a letter will have to do
Well, unfortunately it is still somewhat early in the ebook adoption cycle and many books simply are not available legitimately yet. We are seeing more of them released as ebooks and more older ones being converted all the time, but there still is a ways to go. For my money epub is the best candidate to focus on, particularly outside the U.S. so the ebook readers that support epub would be you best bet in my mind.

Lots of good info here at MR on all sides of the equation.
